Causes of Aging

Aging is due to skin cells overloaded with toxins; poor circulation preventing oxygen delivery; dehydration; shrunken skin tissues from lack of fatty acids and muscle tone. Age spots are an external sign of waste accumulation, especially in the liver, (shows up as sallow skin), and of free radical damage in skin cells.Lipofuscin is the age-related skin pigment that oxidizes to actually appear as brown age spots. Wrinkles, lines and rough skin texture are a sign of poor dermal collagen health. When collagen becomes hard and crosslinks with neighboring collagen fibers, skin can't hold moisture or maintain elasticity. It collapses on itself, forming a fish net below the surface of the skin, seen as wrinkles. Crosslinking occurs from free radical attacks on the skin cell membranes, collagen and elastin proteins, resulting in wrinkles, dry skin and sagging skin contours.
